Default desperate with 4/6 drop on silverado 00 2WD

Hey guys

I have a Silverado 1500 2WD 1999 single cab with a fresh made 4/6 DJM drop kit with stock wheels , I must say I am not satisified at all by the looks & will do anything to change it , and the front is higher than the back for unknown reasons to me ! please let me know what can I do (without changing kits or spending too much to adjust the front and the back and to lower it another 2 inches , your help is highly appreciated , thanks !!

are you sure the springs are seated all the way in the cup in the front?

like mentioned above, make sure the front springs are completely in the pocket. they will also settle 1/2" to 3/4" over the first week of use. if the truck had a 2" drop shackle to level out the stock ride height it will need to go back to the stock shackle.

if you want the rear end higher, you can put a lift shackle in. if you want the front lower you can trim the springs a little.
